72262-9
LaboratoryMethemoglobin [Moles/volume] in Cerebral spinal fluid
Definition
The bilirubin excess is the most sophisticated parameter to exclude subarachnoidal hemorrhage in patient with negative cranial CT scan. The conclusion is also dependent on the amount of presence of methemoglobin in CSF (Apperloo J.J., et al. CCLM FESCC (44), 2006)
